Astronaut on "Find text in editor"

Astronaut — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 21:15:35 +0000

I can't find a way to search for text in the editor. Is there a way to do this in the iOS version that I am missing?
In the mac version I can type command+f to activate the search field.
I can't do this on the iPad keyboard (no command key).
I have a large CSS file and I'd really like to be able to find text without having to scroll down every time. Could you please add a search field to the iOS version, or if it already exists how do I access it?

Thanks in advance,

I've been having another keyboard issue - when you use the wireless keyboard and your post fills the screen, the bottom toolbar often obscures the last two lines of text when the iPad is held in landscape view.

Yes. Dismissing the keyboard works. Thank you! Just take a look at the image size issue. I posted something about it here and in another thread. For my purposes, that has been the most annoying bug with the new update. I appreciate the help. Thanks again.

@electrolund - did you get version 2.8.2?

@gschult1 - I've been able to recreate the saving issue on the iPad. One thing you can do as a workaround is to make sure to dismiss the keyboard before you tap 'Cancel'. That way the app will still prompt you to save your changes.

We'll work on a fix for the next release. I've created a ticket:

Great to hear the devs talking in here, thanks mrroundhill! The dictionary autocorrection is also disabled.

The image sizes have definitely changed. A small image use to be 359x240 and now it's 269x181. This was changed in the earlier update (2.8.0?)

As for the draft not saving, it's on the second attempt. I'm using an iPad (the older one). Type something into the context box, hit cancel and then save. Then do that again and you'll see that you don't have the option to save again, it just erases any subsequent changes. This is a new error from this last update.

You're welcome!

I'm not sure what's going on with the small image size, it doesn't look like we've changed any of that code lately.

For the draft not saving, which device are you using and can you provide some exact steps to reproduce the issue? I can bring up a draft on my iPhone 4, type something in the content box then hit cancel and it prompts me to save it.

Thank you for fixing those bugs!

As mentioned previously, the picture sizes are still way off. The "small" is much smaller than it use to be. The only way around this is to enter image sizes manually via the custom option but this is very tedious.

Also, a new problem with the 2.8.2 update: it appears that I can no longer save a draft that I'm working on. The first time I hit cancel, I will be prompted to save or discard the draft as usual. The next time I open and edit, however, I am not given the option - pressing cancel simply erases any work. I've already learned this the hard way once!

If you could look at these issues it would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hey all, the 2.8.2 update was approved by apple that fixes the editor issues, look for it in the app store!

One more problem:

The image size for uploaded pictures has changed. The small size use to be 359x240 and now it has changed to 269x181, which looks very different. I could enter the old size via "custom" but this is a huge headache as I'm uploading 30-40 pictures / day. Moreover, medium appears to have remained the same size. So, in short, small is too small and medium is too big.

If you could please address this is in the next update it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Yup, all that is fixed in our hotfix that we're submitting today. Thanks for your patience! We've added an editor check to our test plan so we'll catch issues like this in the future.

gschultz1 on "Cursor jumps to end of post when editing earlier text"

gschultz1 — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 08:36:12 +0000

Among other errors:
Spell check doesn't work
You can't insert a link
Auto period doesn't work
And, as mentioned, it jumps to the end.

An updated to fix these would be much appreciated. Without, the app is very difficult to use.

Yes, it appears to be a bug. I was able to reproduce. We'll get a fix submitted ASAP. Thanks for letting us know folks!

I too am having the same issue. Had to download another app Blogsy to finish my post. I am using an ipad 2 . I am new to wordpress and been using the pc. Tonight was the first chance I had to try the ipad app out. However I did notice that a new update for the app was installed before I used the app. Maybe the update has a bug.

I just installed the Wordpress app on iPhone 3GS with iOS4.3.3.

The editor is almost unusable. When I go to write a post or edit an existing post, I can only add text to the END of the post. If I place the cursor anywhere earlier in the post, say to correct a word somewhere, I can type only one character and then the cursor jumps to the very end of the post.

I haven't found this bug listed anywhere else - surely I can't be the only one having this problem?

Thanks for reporting the issue.
It was escalated internally to the development team and a fix will be available in the next app release.

I too have been having the same issue. And it's been around before the latest update (which I believe came out yesterday). Screenshot The white area in the editing area should have text in it, but, well... doesn't

I just bought an Apple bluetooth keyboard and was typing a post in the iOS app on my iPad. Since the keyboard supresses the native keyboard it was not visible. The problem is that the editing screen was half size like as if the native keyboard was actually there. Thus any text editing toward the top of the post obscured the lower half of the post. This, in effect, made the editing screen 1/2 size.
I searched the forums and could not find any other mention of this problem. Has anyone else noticed this?
Thanks in advance

I think that Author-level username-password will only allow you to see posts owned by that Author. What happens if you log into the blog via a browser with the same credentials?

Dear all...

I do have a problem with my wordpress iPhone-App.

Wenn I do log into the App, I only can see the posts I have written and published myself (My role: Author).

When I do log into the App as an Editor, I can see all posts. That's what I want for all the Author-Accounts...

Can you help me please?...Thank you so much!

PS: Sorry, my english is not that good...
